Buying my first Mini Cooper S--words of wisdom?

I am buying my first mini s in the next two weeks (hopefully) and was wondering if anyone could offer insight into the best year(s) and things to look out for. Please post any thoughts or suggestions for my upcoming search!

I'm a Motoring Advisor in NH and the best way to make sure you get the right car is to get the car you want and want the car you get. Go configure a few cars on miniusa.com. to figure out what options you need and what options you want. Make sure you know what your budget is and don't go too far over it if you can avoid it. Rule of thumb is that it will cost you just under $20 for every $1000 borrowed. Example: if you borrow $20,000 for 5 years at a reasonable rate it will cost you just under $400/month. Or if you borrow $25,000 the same scenario will run you just under $500/month. Good luck and I think you'll find that most MINI Motoring Advisors are hard working people working hard for their clients.
Motor on.
